We are very proud that the Pendraken Forum is a friendly, helpful and informative site to visit, so we want to keep it this way.
Please adhere to the following simple rules and if you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the Admin team.
- The Pendraken Forum is viewed by people of all ages and backgrounds, so keep your posts polite, friendly and suitable for everyone to read.
- Each member is allowed ONLY one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed without written permission from the Administrators.
- Please refrain from using "TEXT SPEAK" in your posts. Whilst shortening words is ok for mobiles, on forums it just makes the posts harder to read.
- While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, racism, arguing, flaming or inflammatory posts.
- Spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the Personal message system to spam other members.
- Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed including 'cheating the system' type posts.
- You may not post any copyrighted material unless it is owned by yourself or Pendraken.
- We reserve the right to ban anyone who violates the forum rules.
- While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
Our decision is final in all these matters.We reserve the right to remove or edit any posted information that in anyway, in our sole opinion, does not adhere to our rules or general well being of this family friendly site, without warning.
